Bob Grant was a controversial right-wing talk radio show host, based in the New York City area. Grant is considered a pioneer in the talk radio format and an early adopter of the "combat talk" show style. He began in New York City radio on WMCA in 1970 where he remained until 1977. From there he moved to WOR radio, beginning there on May 30th, 1977. In 1979, he was fired from WOR for some controversial remarks he made on the air and moved back to WMCA taking the time slot of another conservative talk-show host Barry Farber. In November, 1984, Grant was hired by WABC radio which two years earlier had changed from a rock and roll station to an all-talk format. Grant remained with WABC until April 17th, 1996 when he was again fired by the station for remarks made about then commerce secretary Ron Brown who was involved in a plane crash on April 3rd. When Brown was found dead, the station fired him for his remarks against Brown.
Grant then returned to WOR for ten years until 2006. Following that Grant returned to WABC until November, 2008 when his show was pulled. He did some internet broadcasting and then returned for a final time to WABC in 2009. He permanently retired on July 28th, 2013, due to failing health. His radio motto was "Let's Be Heard" which served as the title of his book.
